rambling

I've been looking to buy me some odorless cocoa butter so I can stop smelling like a Hawaiian hooker. However, though I know it exists... it is not at my local Target. This proves to be a problem since I pretty much don't shop anywhere else. I hate Walmart. It makes me a little sick when I walk in there. I don't like seeing all the herds of fat people who beat their kids and don't wear shirts. It's especially bad here in Texas. I've heard people say they hate Target and love Walmart and I noticed these are usually people I don't respect or view as intelligent anyway. If you are a Walmart shopper and believe that you are in fact intelligent and respectable I guess I'm wrong... or you're just kidding yourself (hahahaha). Sigh. Really I don't hold anything against people who shop at Walmart, I just noticed it's a different kind of crowd here. Not my kind of crowd. Too too frustrating with all the elbows and shopping carts and body odor and screaming kids and swearing parents. Though, I am boiling eggs and don't even know how long that takes so how intelligent can I really be. Intelligent enough to look it up online, I suppose. I can't get enough eggs lately. These ones are destined for my salad. Mmmmm. OK done.
Nope changed my mind. I'm gonna make me some deviled eggs. Oh Lordy. Drooool.

You've got me laughing out loud with your Walmart/Target analysis... just for the record, I prefer Target.

Hey, a few years ago a real, live chef taught me how to make perfect boiled eggs! Of course, if he was a real, DEAD chef I would not have taken him seriously. Anyway, here's what you do: If you have an electric stove, bring the eggs to a good old rolling boil and as soon as they get there, turn off the heat, put a lid on the pan, and leave them right there on the 'off' burner for 20 minutes. Then run them under cold water, blah, blah, blah. This doesn't work so well with a gas range, though. In that case, you're supposed to bring them to a boil, then turn down the heat so they're just simmering and let them simmer for about 12 minutes. I'm not as confident in the gas range method because I haven't made them that way as often, but I used the electric range method for years and it always worked.

Loved the pics of your little Goofball in the previous post. He's a busy little goofball, isn't he?

Southwest Vacation - Utah Part 2, hiking at Bryce Canyon

Image
After our luxurious day of nothing, we were ready to get out and get active again.  We took the drive out to Bryce Canyon National Park.  When we arrived, we realized we weren't the only ones who had the idea to hike the park on a Tuesday morning.  It was already crowded.  However, the crowds were mostly elderly people, people with small children, or physically unfit people.  We knew if we picked a strenuous enough path we'd have plenty of space all to ourselves AND we'd be able to hike it just fine.  We're thankful for our able bodies, and we should use them while we have them!



We were right.  The longer, winding, moderate path was barely populated and gave us amazing scenery.  We actually sweat during a hike for the first time (on this trip).  We took our time on the way down to the "Tower Bridge".



We hiked past the "Chinese Wall" and many other interesting hoodoo formations.  It looked like another planet there.  The trees were so different than …

Victim Triangle

Image
Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken.


The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected to do so by anyone other than myself).  I do …
